The unique formula developed with the latest high performance biodegradable emulsifiers is tough enough to use to degrease engine bays and remove heavy dirt and grime from floors.

Ezy Water

EZY WATER is a water softening agent similar to but much more effective than Soda Ash. Many drilling fluid
products are susceptible to water contamination such as hardness, high salinity, and low pH conditions
often found in mine water and bore water. EZY WATER allows these products to perform more effectively
in poor quality water.

Flash Grout

Floc Blocks

FLOC BLOCKS is a flocculant additive in a slowly dissolving solid form designed to settle very fine to colloidal materials and low gravity solid particles from drilling fluids. FLOC BLOCKS neutralize the surface charges on the suspended particles causing them to aggregate and stick together and allowing them to settle out of the drilling fluid.

Floc X

FLOC X is a general purpose cationic liquid flocculant additive designed to settle very fine to colloidal materials and low gravity solid particles from drilling fluids. FLOC X neutralizes the surface charges on the suspended particles causing them to aggregate and stick together and allowing them to settle out of the drilling fluid.

Foam X Plus

FOAM X PLUS is a biodegradable foaming agent that has the ability to foam in fresh, brackish, salty water
and extremely poor water quality conditions. FOAM X PLUS is completely biodegradable and will not
contaminate streams or ground water.

Foam X Ultra

FOAM X ULTRA is a biodegradable foaming agent that has the ability to foam in fresh, brackish, salt and hyper saline water. FOAM X ULTRA is completely biodegradable and will not contaminate streams or ground water.

Gel X 180

Gel X SW

GEL X SW is a proprietary blended bentonite designed at as single sack product specifically engineered for use with salt or hyper saline water. GEL X SW provides viscosity and filtration control which can eliminate the need to add Trol or PHPA polymers to the mud system in all water types.

Gel X Ultra

GEL X ULTRA is a proprietary blended bentonite designed at as single sack product specifically engineered for diamond drilling. GEL X ULTRA provides viscosity and filtration control which can eliminate the need to add Trol or PHPA polymers to the mud system.

Geo Bond 2.0

GEO BOND 2.0 is a revolutionary polymer system designed to maximise core recovery and performance in diamond drilling operations. GEO BOND 2.0 stabilizes unconsolidated formations and protects the core from wash out by forming a polymeric lattice over the drilled surfaces. It coats the surface of the sample as it is being drilled with a protective polymer web and builds a tough and impermeable wall cake that is far superior to using bentonite. GEO BOND 2.0 helps to preserve the core sample in its natural state offering higher quality resource assessment.

Grout X

Kla Bore

KLA BORE is a revolutionary polymer system designed to maximise performance in drilling operations when dealing with clays. KLA BORE stabilizes and inhibits the formations and protects them by forming a polymeric lattice over the drilled surfaces. It coats the surface of the bore cuttings as it is being drilled with a protective polymer web.

LRG

LRG is a high performance diamond drilling liquid grease, formulated for quick and easy application
by pouring it down the rods. Where it can grease from the bottom of the hole to the surface. LRG is
poured into the rod string when the inner tube is lowered again after core recovery, slowly washing
LRG down the inside of the rods and forcing it into the annulus to do its work as rod grease. Used on its
own or in conjunction with rod grease and designed to create an extremely low torque environment by
adhering to both the formation and the outside of the rods.
